An Expert Opinion.
From. the Hartford Co,tront.

Gen. Sherman has just returned from his
visit to Washington, and processes himself in
the position of the Lancastrian lover to the
York maiden. He has fallen in love with that
well-mannered and gifted young lady, Mrs.
Grover Cleveland. He met her for the first
time in Washington the other day at Cabinet
dinner, and Sat by her side.
she is a very remarkable girl he said in
describing the interview; perfectly quiet and
self-possessed, and absolutely without affecta-
ton, accepting the dignity of her position with
almost a queenly graciousness l thought her
very like the Princess of Wales, and told her
so, and she was very much pleased. Mr..
Bancroft, who is very fond of her,
remarked to me that it seems impossible
for any bachelor or widower President to be
elected second term, and we both decided we'd
hate to have this pretty creature turned out.
She has not shown the slightest preference in
her friendships to her husbands political sup
porteTS, and some of her most ardent admirers
are the wives of men who are themselves promi-
nently before the public as candidates for the
Presidency. Mrs John Sherman is one of her
Stanchest friends
After spending an hour and a half with her,
tetea tete, the next day, he still able to tell
her at parting that he had seen a great many of
the ladies of the White House, and not one of
them was more his idea of what an American
Presidents wife should be than is this young
and lovely woman

Cost of Making a Watch.


From the Eel1tStOR Journal.
They were comparing timepieces in the De-
Witt House office the other day. A. L. Denni-
son, of Portland, was one of them Trustee Ben
Hilton, of North Arson, balanced a gold timer
on his dexter finger, and Hon Rufus Prince, of
South Turner, produced the old reliable sun
regulator from his watch pocket. 1t looked like
a convention of watch makers and served to
point a moral to thfs story.
"A cousin of mine. " said Mr.. Dennison, who
was one of the same name as myself, was the
first person to make watch by machinery, and
it was he who established the Waltham Watch
Works in Waltham, Mass. He was abroad over
twenty years in Switzerland and on the CONT
nent, introducing his matchmaking machinery.
Not long ago on a visit to this country, he
came to me. He asked me this question: How
cheap do you suppose can make a watch
by machinery, /. e., good, fair move
ment, one that we would warrant for term of
three or four years.? tried to answer him and
did make guess. Now, what would you say?''
Il can buy em for SO CO., said Charles Wey-
mouth
'Oh, say-er-er-S2'' replied Mr. Prince
Mr. Dennison smiled, and as he clicked his
ck-knife and put it in his pocket, replied with
that peculiar satisfaction that always invests
such situation; He said that he could make
such a watch for just SSc."

CAUGHT BY A COWBOY.
Several Young Californians Thought
That They Had Caught Him.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
man Of p and of medium height, appa-
rently from the country, staggered into the
Baldwin billiard room on Tuesday night. The
coat he wore was an antique Prince Albert, well
oiled about the joints, and it looked as though
the suns of many seasons were lodged m il. His
pants were of the old spring bottom pattern,
held tight about the waist by yellow belt. A
felt hat, diScolored by the sun, covered small,
bumpy head, and shaded pair of gray eyes be-
low the projecting forehead. His whole appear
ance was that of q man who had been lying on
the range at Night and walking about in the day
time.
'Playin' pool, ehg'' he grunted as he lounged
UP to where number of young bloodS were en-
gagged in pyramid pool.
There was nasty consultation among the lat
ter the conclusion reached being that the seedy-
looking individual was a chump and that 1t was
their duty to work him.
Eyes, we are playing pool; want to join us:''
answered one, winkhng at his friends.
Don't mind if do, but you fellers II knock
the spots often me-
NO. we won't; well promise not to; won't
we, boys!" with another wink.
They all promised they would give the new
conner show and he took a cue.
He was fifth and last to play, and when it
came his turn he handled the stick so clumsily
that the hearts of the other boys beat with JOY.
He missed, and before it came his turn again all
the balls We're down.
Next game he took second shot, and, to en-
courage him, the gamekeeper showed him the
easiest shot After long and deliberate aim

and still another. Then he missed.
Next game he was first, and as the house pays

from the break the boys had many jokes to
crack at the expense of the stranger.

country chalked his cue to break. His whole
manner changed. He Strengthened himself up
and handled the cue with grace that sur
prised the Others in the game and made the
spectators laugh. He hit the pyramid square
and sent two balls to the pockets. Then he
played the most difficult shots on the table, put
ting the balls down with an ease that made the
others who were playing green with envy. He
did not quit until he holed the fifteen balls.
Then he played recklessly, but managed to get
from six to ten balls every game. The other
boys did not like to quit the game for appear
ance sake, and they played in a weary manner
never showing any enthusiasm.
The green country chap was cowboy from
Arizona, he said, and just dropped in to have a
little fun with the boys, as it was his night off
and there was no faro loose

A British Scheme.

II seems that the British government
means to send the tenants evicted from
Irish estates TO the United States The
covery which disclosed the scheme. 1t
would be difficult to conceive of one more
heartless or more deserving of condemna-
ton
When the steamship Scandinavian ar
rived in Philadelphia from Liverpool last
week the emigration inspector found party
of eigbty-four Irish people, comprising men,
women and children, whom he detained
Nearly all of them were evicted tenants.
They did not have $50 among them, and in
consequence were classed as pauper immi-
grants. Satisfied that the poor people
were the victims of somebody's cru
city, the inspector inquired the
cause of their leaving Ireland. He was in
formed that magistrate, as the agent of
the British government, had induced all the
immigrants to have their friends or relatives
in the United States write letters
to them requesting them to come to this
country. Upon the reception of the letters
tie magistrate gave the immigrants tickets
for their ocean voyage. They were then
sent TO Galway and shipped to the United
States in a party. OF course they will be-
come charge upon the State unless, as the
pauper emigrant act provides, they are
returned to ireland.
If the British government really means to
unload the evicted Irish tenants upon the
United States, it ought to see that they are
provided with sufficient means to support
them until they can find homes and work
1t is double shame not to do this, for to
send them here without means is cruelty to
them and an imposition upon this country.
Some of the party sent to Philadelphia
were sick and half clad, and one was de-
mented. They all told pitiful tales of ex-
posture and famine. 1t is astonishing that
the British government should consent to
advertise its shameful treatment of the Irish
in this way 1t should keep at home those
whom its laws have made paupers, and take
steps to ameliorate their condition.

The Bay Street Mall.

The agreement of the city to sell the land
on Bay street, in front Of the property OF
Wilcox, Gibbs a. Co ard the estate OF Valid
burg to those parties, was surprise TO nine
tenths of the people OF this city. VIII this
sale be precedent on which the other prop
erty owners on the north side of Bay street
will base right to purchase the unoccupied
ground between their property and the
graywacke pavement, including the com
mon east of Lincoln street.: This common
is now place of recreation for the people
Of that section, and doubtless there would
be some opposition to its appropriation by
private parties.
The arguments used to convert the Coun-
Gil from its old position with respect to tbs
unoccupied ground on the north side of Bay
street must have been very strong ones, but
whether the Councils action is wise or not
time alone can determine. The Council was
influenced to adopt the course it did, doubt
less, by the claim of ownership to the
alleyway between the buildings and
the bluff, known as the Factors
walk, set up by the purchasing par
ties, and for which claim there is some
foundation. The recognition of this claim
and the sale of the land between the alley
way and the street undoubtedly establishes
precedent of which other property owners
will not be slow to take advantage.
There is no doubt it would greatly i'm
prove the appearance of Bay street to build
up to its northern sidewalk, and perhaps
this will, in the course of a comparatively
short time, be done. The common east of
Lincoln street, however, should be reserved
for the public. 1t should be improved and
made an attractive resort 1t can be made
a very attractive place at a very small cost.
A few trees and benches would make it quite
a pretty little park. If reserved for park,
however, some general plan should be
adopted for the improvement of the river
front, one feature of which should be the
widening of River street, so as to afford
ample room for railroad tracks and the
handling of freight.
The increasing of the area for stores on
the north side of Bay street and the widen
ing of River street are two things which are
vital to the commercial prosperity of the
city. The bill enabling the city to dispose
of the vacant ground on Bay street should
have for its object something more than the
getting of small sum of money 1t should
aim to promote the business growth of the
